“I have spent all my life under a Communist regime, and I will tell you...” — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quote

“I have spent all my life under a Communist regime, and I will tell you that a society without any objective legal scale is a terrible one indeed. But a society with no other scale but the legal one is not quite worthy of man either.”

“If one is forever cautious, can one remain a human being?”

“It makes me happier, more secure, to think that I do not have to plan and manage everything for myself, that I am only a sword made sharp to smite the unclean forces, an enchanted sword to cleave and disperse them.”

“I've had hard coaches all my life.”

“All my life my priority was football, football, football. I was just fully focused on that and when my kids were born that focus changed gradually. I had something in my life that changed my perspective. You experience something that is more important than win, lose or draw.”

“The other day, someone told me that all my life I will be telling the stories of underdogs. Their stories always appeal to me.”
